Capitol Hill (CNSNews.com) - TV commercials airing in his home state of South Dakota urge Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle to schedule a vote on the Partial Birth Abortion Act.

Concerned Women for America-South Dakota and its parent organization, Concerned Women for America (CWA), are challenging Daschle, a Democrat, to schedule a vote on the legislation after the Senate returns Sept. 3.

"South Dakota has strong families. And Senator Tom Daschle has represented those families for many years," the commercial states. "In the past, he listened and twice voted to ban the horrible practice of partial birth abortion."

"Now, he's Senate Leader, and he must choose between South Dakota values and Washington values. The Senate is ready to approve the ban. But only Senator Daschle has the power to schedule a vote," the advertisement continues. "Ask Tom Daschle to stop partial birth abortion."

Linda Schauer, director of CWA of South Dakota, recalled Daschle's two votes for the ban in the past.

"That made the people of South Dakota very happy," she insisted. "All we're asking is that he use the power of his leadership position to do what's right again, and schedule a vote."

In fact, the Senate has also voted to pass the ban twice.

"Tom Daschle holds the reins on the Senate calendar," said CWA national President Sandy Rios. "We feel it will easily pass again if Sen. Daschle listens to his constituents and schedules a vote."

The ad, entitled "Daschle's Choice" is scheduled to run on cable and broadcast television through Sept. 6.

Calls to Daschle's leadership press office were not answered Friday afternoon. A voicemail greeting at the main number for Daschle's congressional office invites South Dakota constituents to call his office toll-free at 800-424-9094. That same number is mentioned in the "Daschle's Choice" commercial.
